Outrageous Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Cookies

Happy National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day! To celebrate, here’s a blast from the past — Outrageous Chocolate Chip Cookies. It’s an old recipe from allrecipes.com with an interesting balance of ingredients. The peanut butter flavor isn’t very strong, but it’s certainly detectable. As for the oats, there are just enough of them to give the cookies some bumpiness. The end results is a chewy, fairly soft, not-too-thick, lumpy, chocolate chip cookie.

Having pulled this cookie out of the vault, I want to keep it on the forefront and try making it with some different nut butters. I think almond butter would be good, or maybe even cashew butter. And one of these days I’m going to buy a jar of Sun Butter. I’ve never tried it, but I think a Sun Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie would be pretty good
